As I experienced the product?
UPDATE 10/16/2013
now I'm in the Tefal Acti Fry still made breaded haddock, fried Minced (with only the teaspoon of oil - meat tasted intense than usual) and still
Cooked vegetables, and even in there fried goulash today, .... super, you put into it the meat, spice it, spread a teaspoon of oil over the meat and let fry for 20 minutes the fryer .... nothing bakes on, or staring them fixed, you do not run the kitchen and can do other things at the time. Full super! And the meat tasted afterwards somehow better than in a pan.
First: The fryer was securely packed in a carton, and again packed into a carton of Tefal and in a shipping box from Amazon at home with me.
The device comes with:
a small recipe book
a snack book with recipes and a table for different cooking times for various foods such as. Fries, chicken nuggets uä.
a spoonful of the oil - for example. for fresh homemade fries - with frozen fries need no oil
a warranty booklet - Tefal assumes 2 years warranty
a manual well described
A safety note book
and a round fry basket breaded food - that's the part Snacking
and a turning insert to eg. the fries to stir in the machine.
The fryer looks from the outside very stylish, has a plastic window that does not fog up and you can then watch the cooking process.
An on / off switch next to another timer, which can only run the time and beeps thereafter. This timer, however, is neither the device nor the machine stops, it only serves as a reminder that the cooking time has expired. This is something beeping softly.
For this, the fryer has a lift, as in a normal Fitteuse also where you can take the inner part herraus.
Everything is dishwasher safe.
The operation is very simple:
Press on the sides of the button, lift the lid, insert the mixer head - locks with a click on and then the example. Frozen fries pour in.
Then set the timer to 20 minutes.
Then press the power button.
Then the unit begins with hot, constant air to cook the fries.
The agitator distributes fries evenly, so they are very nice brown and crisp.
A drying out is given only by prolonged on-time, but to find the time in the booklet.
Yesterday I in the Snacking cup Chicken Wings inserted, and after 20 minutes they were pretty tasty, golden brown and enjoy without fat and I have to say:
YOU taste better than in a normal FAT FRYER !!!
I was totally overwhelmed by the taste, who would have thought.
But the device can do much much more than just fries, or chicken nuggets.
One can is still baking bread, bake cupcakes, cook raw meat in it and so on ...
And all very healthy and without fat, at a constant temperature.
Compared to a normal fryer:
These must first at least. Be taken for 10 min in operation, so that the fat is hot.
After the Frittiergang needs again about 10 minutes.
So much time needs the Tefal Acty Fry also.
Furthermore, you need fat, healthy that's not, and the fat also costs money.
And, from a certain time you have to spoon the fat from the fryer and then where to put it?
In addition, the window of a normal fryer is often fogged and smeared.
Thus, an examination of the food is not given.
And a clean affair is all anyway, and probably not healthy.
Some small minus points I have, however, still well:
The timer is battery-operated ... a pity because the unit is anyway supplied with power.
In addition, the timer, the device does not switch off, but beeps softly to remind, that's finished cooking.
Furthermore the unit is very hot: the outside and clear the inside also.
As a warning would be externally attached to the unit in my opinion.
It would have been nice also if the outside of the device for the most important things, such as. Frits the cooking time would be given, so that you would not have to constantly look at the book.

- Battery powered timer and not turn off the device
- Timer sound to silent
- Unit is very hot outside - warning on the device would be as well placed
- The operating noise is loud but not unpleasant now
- Standard for foods like fries were outside a cooking table was very nice, so you do not always look up in the book
And that's it with the nitty gritty.
So I can live very well.
All in all, a strong buy recommendation from me, especially because it simply, cleaner and healthier. And much much better taste.
Try it yourself try.
I have been excited in any case after the first bite.
